WHAT A BOY 8H0ULD AIM FOR
Willla I)e Witt Hyde, realdent of
Bowden College, in a book aent out
by T. Y. Crowell called "The Queat
of the Best," gives one of the wisest
of recent studies on the training of
boys. Here is one of its summaries
"If wo put together the separate
features of the boy who is enliBted
in the QueBt of the Best, the por
trait will be something like this:
"He keeps himself clean and neat
out of regard for others, but on ac
caston is raedy to get as dirty as
work or play may require.
He eats heartily, but only Buch
and so much food as will keep him
in most effective working and play
lng condition.
He foregoes liquor and tobacco
whenever they would mean either
deterioration for himself, or destruc
tion of those weaker than he
He takeB all the amusement and
fun he can get without annoyance
or degredation of others or enervaj
tion of himself.
He works with an eye to his em
ployer"8 interest as well as his own;
but not when he can help it to the
point of dulness or chronic fatigue.
He spends freely of what he en
joyB, and saves for a rainy day; yet
holds all his spending and saving
subject to the claim of persons and
causes more needy or worthy than
he.
He stoutly and bravely defends
with all there is in him whatever be
stands for; yet would rather be
called coward than do a foolish or
foolhardy thing to avoid It
He looks out shrewdly for hint
■elf; yet juat as shrewdly for his
Customer, creditor, employer or em-
ploye.
He tella the truth in kindueaa lo j
all who have a right to hear it.

To expand in a little kindneaa and

strength or cheer and be content—
that ia all It looka for. Without
the love of our fellows we are leaf
less stocka, cumbering the ground;
we are waterless wells, mocking our
own need. For all that la given we
may give again In thankfulness and
devotion; but only as seed la sown
can earth bear frult.o nly aa we are
loved can we love again. Let no
man think he can give and not re-)
ceive. Aa toon could hollowa In

so do we give nil because to

a man count for one day the aervicea
the frlendlineaa, the trlval kindly
the pleasant tonea, the amllea,
merely that have fallen like dew up-
on him. He will never again reck-
on all that are near or dear he leana

THE JACKAL.

It is said that hogs around Senti-
nel get so fat that In order to find
out where their heads are It Is nec-
essary to make them squeal and
judge by the sound.—Sentinel Lead-
er.
New York World: "But for the
newspapers most person* subject to

ant of Its existence, let nlone the

government, therefore, contrive to

for tkla gratuitous service?"
Stigler State Sentinel,—The Jack
Is a small gregarious, carnivor-
ous animal, related to the wolf and
dog. They are cowardly, feed large
ly on carrion and are noted for their
dismal howling. They follow the
lion about and takes what he leaves
on a carcass. The lion always maket
his kill, the jackal seldom ever does
The species of jackal that inhabits
Asia is the canis aureus, those
Africa, which are darker in color
are the species anthus.
There is another specie which lnha
its the whole civilized world. This
is the commercial jackal. He drops
into a town, goes into business, and
shortly his dismal howling sounds
over the quiet night air. He refuses
to aid in development, but stands
ready to take advantage of all bus
Iness brought to the town by the en
terprislng citizen. He will not ad-*
vertlse his wares, but takes advan-
tage of the crowds brought into
town by the advertising of his worth
while competitor, He never creates
anything of value but often reape
rich harvests from the value# creat
ed by the other fellow. He often dls
guises hia origin by a sheeps cloak
of hypocrisy and many times cacnpes
detection for months and even years
But sooner or later the searchlight of
truth uncovers his obnoxious practice
and then he often slinks into other
fields and continues to feed off the
leavings of the lion.
A Jackal Is a mighty unsavory an-
imal, and every town should organise
and rid themselves of posts.
Spending your money with the pro
greaslve business man, whose name
appears on every movement for ad-
vantage of the town or country, and
who Is wide-awake in keeping his
business before the people, is s uiost
effective weapon with which to give
the commercial jackal his death blow

THE KNOCKER'S PRAYER.
Here is • one that is going the
rounds just now:
Lord please don't let this town
grow. I've lived here for thirty years law prohibiting the sale of cigarets
COME TO RYAN.
Ryan leader,—The Moultrie, Ga.,
town council was petitioned by the
mothers of the town and passed a
and during that time I've fought ev
ery public improvement; I've knock-
ed everything and everybody; no
firm or individual has established a
business here without my doing all
I could to put them out of business.
I've used every underhanded method
known to the knocking fraternity to
injure their business; I've lied about
them and would have stolen from
them If I had the courage. I have
done all I could do to keep the town
from growing; never have I spoken a
good word for it, but instead I've
knocked hard and often.
"It pains me, O Lord, to see that
in spite of my knocking this town is
beginning to grow. Some day, I fear,
will be called upon to put down
sidewalks in front of my property,
and who knows but what I may have
to help keep up the streets that run
by my premises? This, Lord, would
be more than I could bear. It would
cost me money, and I could not af-
ford to put out my money, though all
have was made right here in this
town.
"Then, too, more people might
come if the town begin to grow,
which would cause me to lose some
of my pull, I ask, therefore, to keep
this town at a standstill, that I may
continue to be the chief knocker.
Amen, amen."—Ex.
Now the town council is petitioned
by mere men to pass an ordinance
prohibiting the sale of corsets and
high heeled shoes. And the town
council*is composed of mere iften
who have accepted^ the Job for the
love of their country. Their days
are days of sackcloth and ashes and
unleavened bread and the end is not
yet. Verily, verily, there will be
weeping and wailing and gnashing
of teeth and if the merchantman be
wise they will make haste and beat
their plough shares into swords and
their reaping hooks into sabrts and
trade their stock of baby buggies
and tandem beds for solitary sleep-
ing couches. How small a thing is
a cigaret and yet what a mighty
squabble it has started. We trem
ble for the safety of our country.
Come to Ryan.

Cushing will have so many officers

They can, however, make business

that Cushing's present High con-

movement to appoint another officer
as he deems himself, when proper
